Yes, it's real ... a gleeful charity shared this image with me. They'd set up a proper bequest pipeline a few years earlier. Now that pipeline routinely produces major final gifts from true believers.

PS: NOT an isolated case.

Would your org. like a similar STREAM of charitable bequests?

I'm guessing your answer is "Just tell me how, Tom!"

Well ... I will tell you how. But you'll have to invest some of your time ... and a bit of your money: $129 to be exact. (See details HERE.)

The title of this comprehensive webinar?

How to Market Bequests:
The Delicate (tho Highly Lucrative) Art
of Asking for that Final Gift

IF you join the crowd (and, yes, it already IS a crowd) at my super-webinar on Thursday, May 16 (1.5 hours of training + unlimited Q&A) ... you'll learn exactly what YOUR nonprofit NEEDS to know, to set up an unrelenting charitable-bequest pipeline.

You will absorb world-sourced, true-expert, best-practice advice re: how to market bequests. This treasury of advice might well change your charity's goals and expectations forever . . .

Here’s my promise to most nonprofits, big and small: your fundraising appeals (and your other donor communications, digital and print) could quickly raise lots more money ... if you make a few simple changes.

Experts estimate that every year nonprofits fail to raise at least half what they could. Why? Basic fundraising mistakes infest their donor communications. And those comms reap predictably paltry rewards.

There are a number of common problems: confusing offers, poor readability, jargon self-indulgence, busted approval loops.

The good news? It’s all easily fixable. I can fix your stuff. Or you can learn to fix your stuff in-house, with some help.

Know this. You don’t have to be great to double your donations. You just have to be better.

And you can be better. Starting now. Sign up for my fundraising newsletter. It’s free.
